Kickstarter Watch – Widower’s Wood

Privateer
Press is well known for their very successful Warmachine and Hordes miniatures
games. They are in the process of producing a boardgame this time, and have
turned to Kickstarter to get some buzz around the game and obviously some
money.

Widower’s
Wood is a game where you lead a band of monster-heroes on a quest to destroy
a menace to your beloved swamp. You can play solo or up to four players and the
game takes care of the bad guys.

The
miniatures look great. Lots of suitable swamp denizens like croc-people,
weird snakes, lizard-men and more. If you go for the Dead Men Walking expansion
there will be additional scenarios and, obviously, undead creatures.

The
Kickstarter is live to March 19 (or early on March 20 if you live in Europe) and expects to deliver in January 2017. It
funded during the first day and is now well into the stretch goals.

My rating system

5 - A masterpiece. You have to read/see/visit.4 - Really good. Strongly recommended it if it is a subject of interest, and probably worth reading/seeing/visiting if not.3 – It’s OK. If it’s a subject you’re interested in, it’s probably worth reading/seeing/visiting. Otherwise you can probably skip it.2 - Well, not really... If it’s your subject you could possibly find something in it worth your while. Otherwise stay clear.1 - Stay clear. This is a waste of your time.
